6) Executive session and adjournment - Council entered and exited an executive session under Idaho Code 74-206(1)(b) during the work session; no additional public action from the executive session was recorded on the public agenda.
Why it matters: The votes cover a mix of operational budget actions, land-use approvals, transportation priorities and code updates. Several items (the platform purchase, LO rezoning, and transportation priorities) include follow-up requirements for staff: the platform purchase is limited to one year pending a staff report; the LO rezoning requires a development agreement and landscape/fencing installation; and the transportation priorities include a request for cost estimates from ACHD.
Provenance: Roll-call tallies and motions are recorded in the meeting minutes and on the public record of the March 11 meeting. Where available, these items are covered in separate articles that provide further context and quotation from staff and council members.
